Coalescents for Water‑Based Coatings and Inks | Luna‑nol®

Luna-nol C-12 is an efficient, low-odour coalescent for all types of latex paints, particularly interior paints. It helps to enhance performance properties of the of the coating including low temperature coalescence, touch-up, and scrub resistance.

Luna-nol C-12 mixes easily into latex paints and does not affect the stability of the product. It also can be used as a retarder solvent in coil coatings and baking enamels, as well as in other applications such as printing inks, floor polishes and oil-drilling muds.

Luna-nol C-16 is an efficient, low-odour coalescent for all types of latex paints, particularly interior paints. It helps to enhance performance properties of the of the coating including low temperature coalescence, touch-up, and scrub resistance.
Luna-nol C-16 is not classified as a VOC according to European Union Decopaint Directive 2004/42/EC. Luna-nol C-16-H should be added in the letdown stage after the mill-base is finished.
Luna-nol C-16 also finds application as a low viscosity, phthalate-free plasticiser for PVC.

Luna-nol C-295 is a low-toxicity, low odor, and biodegradable coalescing agent that meets the environmental protection release requirements of TVOC. It‘s the ultimate „green“ filmforming additive for a wide range of water-based coatings.

Luna-nol C-295, you can enjoy a range of benefits. It has excellent solubility and compatibility with various coating systems, making it incredibly versatile. The film-forming properties of coatings are improved under a range of temperature and relative humidity conditions, making it an excellent choice for use in a wide range of environments.

Luna-nol C-295 is easy to use and can mix into an emulsion without affecting the stability of the coating, even at high contents. It also improves the coating’s rheology and pigment wettability, making it an excellent all-around solution for range of applications.

Luna-nol C-295 also offers excellent weather resistance and scrub resistance of the coating film, ensuring a long-lasting coating.
